DESCRIPTION

Presentation slides from Dustin Tauer's 2014 MIMA Session: What is your Web workflow? If your situation mirrors that of most organizations, the process often begins with some initial planning and discovery, followed by the design phase. In the design phase, Photoshop is opened and wireframes evolve into static designs. Once approved, these designs are passed to the developer which leads to testing, tweaking, and finally, launch. This workflow is great for traditional websites, but major evolution is needed to account for the changing landscape that is responsive design. This session will present different strategies and processes for effectively designing and developing responsive websites. We’ll look at how taking a content-first approach rather than a design-first approach can significantly reduce the number of issues and iterations throughout the process. With mobile traffic quickly surpassing desktop traffic, a new workflow process is imperative to helping us be better prepared for the constantly changing device landscape.

– Ethan Marcotte, 2010 http://alistapart.com/article/responsive-web-design

“Responsive design is not about ‘designing for mobile.’ But it’s not about ‘designing for the desktop,’ either. Rather,

it’s about adopting a more flexible, device-agnostic approach to designing for the web.”

Content first. Stop thinking about content in terms of layout, and plan content independent of design.

!

Mobile first. Stop the focus on device thinking, and assume a omni-device world where we work on style direction independent of layout.

Page 19: MIMA 2014 - Changing your Responsive Design Workflow

Discovery!

• Research to uncover user needs

• Develop personas

• Create the user journey map that becomes our product strategy

Content

Planning!

• Evolve the user journey map into a Content plan

• Information Architecture document

Page 20: MIMA 2014 - Changing your Responsive Design Workflow

Sketching!

• Do not do static wireframes.

• Allows people to try multiple solutions to a problem before settling on one or two ideas to iterate further.

The Post-PSD Era

Design

We still need Photoshop, but it’s no longer our starting point.

Page 23: MIMA 2014 - Changing your Responsive Design Workflow

The Post-PSD EraPhotoshop is great for:!

• Creating and editing graphics. Duh.

• Establishing the colors, textures and general feel of a design.

• Developing Style Tiles, mood boards, etc.

Design

Photoshop is not great for:!

• Creating fully fleshed-out comps – It’s impossible to articulate every environment, resolution, and circumstance in Photoshop.

• Articulating states – Hovers, clicks, and other interactive elements are better prototypes that show performance, responsiveness, ergonomics, and feel.
